Snow crab claws
They were super easy to eat (already cooked and shell partially removed). I like to lightly dip them in ponzu sauce (or soy sauce and rice vinegar) – Japan

Take out ramen
From a ramen noodle shop (I’m pretty sure it was made available due to COVID). I had to cook the noodles and add hot water to the broth but everything else was ready to be eaten – Japan

Nagasaki Chamen
Today’s lunch was Nagasaki Chamen. The noodles are served thin and crispy (which eventually become soft as they soak in the flavorful thick sauce) – Japan
